Nyt on yö.
Minä kuljen yksin
tyhjiä katuja.
En tiedä, mihin olen menossa,
hyvä kun tiedän mistä
olen tulossa,
ja ruumiissani
soi tuhat kaunista ja
voimakasta sävelmää,
minun koko menneisyyteni,
ja silmissäni loistavat
tuhannen ihmisen silmät,
silmien takana tuntemattomuus,
tätä naista ei tunne kukaan,
se ei ole vielä täysin syntynytkään,
ei kukaan tiedä
mitä se on tulevaisuudessa.


- Mirka Lattunen



Necuvintele

El a întins spre mine o frunză ca o mână cu degete.
Eu am întins spre el o mână ca o frunză cu dinţi.
El a întins spre mine o ramură ca un braţ.
Eu am întins spre el braţul ca o ramură.
El schi-a înclinat spre mine trunchiul
ca un umăr.
Eu mi-am înclinat spre el umărul
ca un trunchi noduros.
Auzeam cum se încetineşte sângele meu suind ca seva.
Eu am trecut prin el.
El a trecut prin mine.
Eu am rămas un pom singur.
El
un om singur

Kunst ist nicht ein Spiegel, den man der Wirklichkeit vorhält, sondern ein Hammer, mit dem man sie gestaltet.

- Karl Marx



The Hermit’s Song

A hiding tuft, a green-barked yew tree
Is my roof,
While nearby a great oak tree keeps me
Tempest-proof.

I can pick my fruit from an apple
Like an Inn,
Or can fill my fist where hazels
Shut me in.

A clear well beside me offers
Best of drink,
And there glows a bed of cresses
Near its brink.

Pigs and Goats, the friendliest neighbours,
Nestle near,
Wild swine come, or broods of badgers,
Grazing deer.

All the gentry of the county
Come to call!
And the foxes come behind them,
Best of all.

To what meals the woods invite me
All about!
There are water, herbs and cresses,
Salmon, trout.

A clutch of eggs, sweet mast and honey
Are my meat,
Heathberries and Whortleberries
For a sweet.

All that one could ask for comfort
Round me grows,
There are hips and haws and strawberries,
Nuts and sloes.

And when summer spreads its mantle
What a sight!
Marjoram and leeks and pignuts,
Juicy, bright.

Dainty redbreasts briskly forage
Every bush
Round and round my hut there flutter
Shallow, thrush.

Bees and beetles, music-makers,
Croon and strum;
Geese pass over, duck in autumn,
Dark streams hum.

Angry wren, officious linnet
And black-cap,
All industrious, and the woodpecker’s
Sturdy tap.

From the sea the gulls and herons
Flutter in,
While in upland heather rises
The grey hen.

In the year’s most brilliant weather
Heifers low
Through green fields, not driven nor beaten,
Tranquil, slow.

In wreathed boughs the wind is whispering,
Skies are blue,
Swans call, river water falling
Is calling too.

- Unknown old Irish poet

Link of the day

http://metanoia.studiowhippingboy.com/

It's been a while since I've gotten this caught up in a comic (!). Metanoia is a cool story about a young hitman called Star. It tells of pretty ugly and dirty things, but balances them well with charming black humour.
Also, don't miss the 'extras' section, with some silly and hilarious one-pager comics ...

Till alla svenskjävlar som inte klarar av att sätta komma i ert eget språk

Tvärt emot vad många tror har svenska språket faktiskt klara och tydliga kommateringsregler. Det finns dock en rad olika skolor som tillämpar olika regler, och det kan vara förvirrande när man läser olika texter skrivna under olika kommateringsskolor.

Old school:
Satskommatering - man sätter kommatecken runt varje del av meningen som utgör en sats. T.ex. "De svenskar, som är dumma i huvudet, klarar inte kommatering." Ungefär så ser det än idag ut i språk som tyska och ryska.

Kommie school:
Tydlighetskommatering - under en tid på sextiotalet tog man bort det första kommatecknet i satskommateringen, men man behöll det andra. Man satte alltså komma mellan det som numera kallas för subjektsfrasen ("de svenskar som är dumma i huvudet") och verbfrasen ("klarar inte kommatering").

Weird-ass school:
Alla känner inte till dessa skolor, och vissa kanske mycket väl känner till dem men vill av någon anledning inte kännas vid dem. Från en universitetsprofessor (som i övrigt är en mycket bra människa) hörde jag en gång dessa riktlinjer till kommatering: "När det känns som om det ska komma en paus ..., så ska man sätta komma." Öhh ... vilket får mig att (i den sinnesstämning jag befinner mig i just nu) kommatera min exempelmening på följande sätt: "De svenskar som är, jävligt, dumma, i huvudet, klarar inte kommatering."

New school:
I modern svenska används en kommateringsregel som skiljer mellan de bisatser som är nödvändiga för sammanhanget och de som inte är det. Om bisatsen är nödvändig för sammanhanget sätter man inte ut kommatecken. Man skriver alltså: "De svenskar som är dumma i huvudet klarar inte kommatering" - utan något komma.
Om jag däremot skulle vara folkilsk och skriva: "Svenskar, som ju är dumma i huvudet, klarar inte kommatering", ska jag sätta ut komma. "Svenskar klarar inte kommatering" kan nämligen stå för sig självt - "som ju är dumma i huvudet" är bara ett förtydligande inskott och skulle lika gärna kunna skrivas inom parentes.

Vad gäller övriga regler citerar jag Siv Strömquist i Svenska Dagbladet: "... visst finns det bindande regler, som den att kommatecken ersätter ordet 'och' i uppräkningar, eller att det skall vara kommatecken före och efter parentetiska inskott. Vissa fristående fraser (tilltal, utropsord, exemplifieringar etc.) skall också alltid avskiljas med kommatecken. Vid samordning av huvudsatser skall kommatecken i princip användas före bindeordet (och, men, eller) men i verklighetens texter kan den regeln bli överflödig."

More photography

When I was making pasta earlier this evening, Mihai absolutely wanted to take a picture of me where I looked 'nice and homely'.

Some attempts at making a couple of crappy underlighted pictures from Lapland good again

Lack of daylight is evil when you have no flash and don't want to fight the other two people who want to use the only available tripod. Maybe the pics still aren't that good, but at least I can claim that they're 'artistic' ...



Mihai taking pictures of the enormous cool cat at our hostel in Abisko.



I was bored on the train and wanted to see if Mihai would look like a ninja if I made him a ponytail.

Gothenburg

My favourite Swedish city is Gothenburg - I lived for about a year in its suburb Hjällbo when we moved back to Sweden after a few years of exile. Gothenburg is a port city with leftist sympathies and a charming dialect. The city library has such a great comics section that it feels like Christmas every time you visit it.

When we came back from Lapland a while ago, we stopped for an hour or two in Gothenburg and walked around.







I'll try to make some pages about the Lapland trip soon, now that I got my pics ...

How people get here ...

Lots of people from Malta tend to come to this blog, looking for some kind of 'puzzle' (haga mohgaga in Maltese). I guess there aren't that many puzzle sites written in Maltese on the web!?

Anyway, I don't *want* to know what this guy was looking for:
